The world’s most prestigious sapphires come from a few key regions, each known for producing stones with distinct qualities:
Sri Lanka (Ceylon): Sri Lanka has a long history of producing some of the world’s most beautiful sapphires. Ceylon sapphires are often lighter and more vibrant in color, ranging from cornflower blue to sky blue. The island also produces a wide variety of fancy-colored sapphires.
Myanmar (Burma): Myanmar is renowned for its deep, rich blue sapphires, often referred to as “Burmese sapphires.” These stones are known for their intense saturation and silk-like luster.
Kashmir (India): Kashmir sapphires are among the most valuable and rare, prized for their velvety texture and deep blue color. Mining in this region is extremely limited, making these sapphires exceptionally rare and highly sought after by collectors.
Madagascar: In recent years, Madagascar has emerged as one of the leading sources of high-quality sapphires. Sapphires from Madagascar can display a range of colors, with blue, pink, and yellow being the most common.
Other notable sources include Australia, Thailand, and Cambodia, each producing sapphires with unique color characteristics and qualities.
